Mac Music Downloading? Options

[better]

What is the best recommended place to download music for mac? itunes is just too expensive even though it will be so convienent I just can't pay it. Is there anything better than Limewire? Is there anything that has a flat monthly rate or anything? This is so annoying.

{Seems to me that a lot of music industry people put their promo cds up on peer to peer sites so that djs etc can download the tracks and then promote them through dances, parties and clubs in the hope that peeps will then want to buy a copy. It's a way of getting your music out there.
You can put your head in the sand or get mad but it is still gonna happen, It is human nature to want to get something for nothing ( which is entropically impossible). Just watch out for your karma! }

jimdubpram, you know I love ya son, but... Do you hear yourself? music industry people. Hell, if I was making 10 million bucks selling CD's, getting Airplay Royalties and Touring I would be generous too. If you are refering to Prince, who was once a true Badd Ass, when he was working with his cousin (The real SOURCE of all Princes hits). Prince had to GIVE that tired, recycled, stolen, crap he is doing today away for free... It still aint selling. When was the last time you heard Prince on the Radio? Right...

Not everyone wants something for free, some, me for one, has learned that there is no such thing as something for nothing. How can you mention Karma and Stealing in the same breath? The most ABSURD thing I have heard this year.

Plus, why, would someone buy music if PEER TO PEER groups give it away? It becomes of no value.

I have paid my dues over many years learning and lifting my musical skills worked hard for my gear, hard and software. Why should I give it away FREE? If I was a non-musician, I guess I would be happy for anyone to listen, but non musicians music always sucks... You can't get magic from tragic. It is a Karma Thang.
